SWINGING WITH A DENIM JACKET
Is it Friday yet??? What a day yesterday was. I tried to keep busy all day so that I wouldn’t be thinking about food constantly. Why is it if you start a new diet that you can’t think about anything else than food? Thankfully, I kept busy with work and before I knew it the day had flown by. My first obstacle will be water consumption. Yuck, I hate water. I am trying to stay away from sugar and any kind of sugar substitute so I can’t have any of the flavor packets. Instead, today I added lemon slices and it was tolerable but still not good. Lol!
Joe is being a trooper about my diet even though I have not tried to force this on him. I fixed our breakfast this morning which usually has cheese but I told him that I wasn’t eating dairy. You could have knocked me over with a feather when he said then he wouldn’t have any either. Normally you can’t find the food under his pile of cheese that he has added. He ate it and pronounced it good. He is not fooling me, let’s see what tomorrow brings. 
Yesterday I showed you a maxi dress styled with the denim jacket. It is only natural that I show you a shorter dress today. This is a swing dress from Old Navy, I love their swing dresses. They have a wide variety of styles including sleeveless, cap sleeve, and long sleeve. They also have petite and plus sizes to choose from. By the way, what do you think about my infinity scarf? I loved the colors when I spied this baby and hold on to your hats. I bought this scarf for 2.97! AND, so can you, this came from Walmart. I hardly ever buy clothing from Walmart but this happened to be on the end aisle that I was shopping in.
I have so many people that message me saying they want to join me in business but they are afraid of failing. Gurls . . . I know how you feel . . . believe me . . . I felt the same thing . . . but I have found that a fear of being broke, fear of staying in debt with no relief in sight and fear of not being able to live life to the fullest is greater than the fear of failure. I truly love the products from Rodan + Fields or I wouldn’t tell you about them. I truly love this business or I wouldn’t invite you to join me. I believe that this opportunity was put before me for a reason, just like I think the blog was started for a reason. Are “you” reading this for a reason? Go to www.tstephens5.myrandf.biz to check out the different enrollment kits. Really, what have you got to lose? You get great skin care products in the kit and the opportunity to have your own business.

Hi a tip to flavor your water naturally is to add fruit. Such as blueberries or raspberries or both. If diet allows that give it a try. Just make up a pitcher and keep chilled. It’s really tasty.
You should try drinking flavored sparkling water. I get the Deer Park brand. Just water with a little flavoring…..its great!
The only food I can’t stop thinking about is what’s in my freezer. We haven’t had power since about 9 pm Sunday. Thanks Irma! But we are fine and the house and vehicles weren’t damaged; we are very thankful that the Lord took care of us.
Love this look, the jean jacket series, and your blog! Ordered the light blue, mine is coming tomorrow! I love jean jackets, will now own 3?! They are so versatile! Love the Dooney, I’m a Dooney gurl myself, own several!
Good luck on the healthy eating, you can do this!! I’ve lost 40 pounds so far this year, and feel so much better! ?
Have you tried LaCroix sparkling water? No calories, no artificial sweeteners, no sodium, just carbonated water and natural flavor. Not sure if “fizzy water” is permissible on the Daniel Plan, but it helps me drink more water throughout the day to switch it up a bit. I’m always trying to lose weight!?
I love reading your blog first thing in the morning. Your stories always bring a smile to my face. I don’t generally have an issue drinking plain water, but when I want a change I drink La Croix. Zero calories and zero added sugars.
Great outfit i love levi jackets and looking forward to seeing more with your outfits. One question though, how do you stay organized in your closet to find which outfits go well together? Love your blog!
We used to add basil to our water…fresh basil. It made the water have a nice flavor….
XOXO

Re your water intake. Since I’ve gotten older, water consumption has been a real problem for me. I happened to see flavored seltzer water without any additives & thought I’d give it a try! For me, it’s perfect. I buy the 1 liter sizes, loosen the cap to let it get flat. Viola! Flavored water, pure & simple. I fill my tall tumbler with ice & seltzer, then I sip & refill all day long. Or don’t loosen the cap if you like the fizz! In our area of Northeast PA, I purchase Polar brand. Not to be confused with Polar Springs! There are great flavors available; Vanilla, Georgia Peach, triple Berry, etc. right now I’m on a Blueberry Lemon kick. Good luck with the diet, I should follow your lead!
